The only way that I can think of that you may be able to have your sshd
box know your non-NATed IP address, or hostname, would be to have the
ssh client set an environment variable when you first login.  You could
then consult that variable as needed.  Check the sshd man page.  Here is
a snip:

Additionally, ssh reads $HOME/.ssh/environment, and adds lines of the
format ``VARNAME=value'' to the environment if the file exists and if
users are allowed to change their environment.  See the
PermitUserEnvironment option in sshd_config(5).

I doubt that you will be able to find an acceptable resolution to your
question regarding Apache logging.
